In this light opening and vividly detailed book, it tells a story about a young man who has been credited with asking and criticizing policies of the company he works for. He is called into a meeting with the CEO of the company to speak about the young man’s concerns. The young man, ambitious, driven and with an unsalable need to achieve, realizes that the world is not what he thinks it is. He realizes while speaking to a CEO, the prominence of what society would consider successful, what he considers success are much different. The young man realizes that success is up to the person and not a result of a collective success and that there are different types. The realization of how we as a culture believe what success is, infuses a sense of entitlement as we judge the success of others by simply the position they hold and not the work they do.

This journey of a young man progresses as he slowly begins to realize that the world is a place, not of black and white but of certain realities that formulate individuals. Metaphorically the young man has a ‘toolbox of success’, a book that he writes in that reminds him of all the lessons he has learned. In his journey he realizes that motivation, goal setting and the belief in what you are doing is the path to self-realization. Heath L.

On page 132 Gene talks about senses and how we must trust not only one of them but all of them. This is an example of many similar lessons that try to evolve the thinking past the obvious; to absorb information and start to think critically. As the book progresses we can see a division in the way. It
